Daihappydai Says: Taking a boat trip arond the bays is a great way to see more of Pulau Pangkor. We arranged a boat trip from Pasir Bogak - 150RM for a three hour trip which we thought was a fair price. The boat driver took us to several points of interest including a view of turtle rock and...
Jambatan Gantung - Suspension Bridge
Daihappydai Says: A sign post on the side of the Pasir Bogak road signals the start of a short walk into the jungle to an old suspension bridge. When I visited in June 2012, the sign said closed for repairs but I decided to take a look anyway. Once into the jungle it was a pleasant walk as...
Wandering through Pangkor Town
Daihappydai Says: Although there is a strong smell of drying fish, Pangkor Town has some interesting shops selling produce and supplies such as toiletries, a few decent cafes/restaurants and an excellent antique shop just at the edge of town on the corner heading to Pasir Bogak.Shop fronts...
Daihappydai Says: Situated on a headland at the northern end of Coral Beach is Lin Je Kong Temple - one of the more bizarre sights on the island! The entrance to the temple is 'guarded' by oversized statues of cartoon characters. Inside the temple grounds are several shrines and incence...
Boat Building Industry on Pulau Pangkor
Daihappydai Says: On the east side of Pulau Pangkor heading north from Sungai Pinang Kecil is a small boat building industry. Huge pieces of thick timber are piled high near the side of the road as a crew build a large vessel of wood using elementary tools. The workmen allowed us to walk into...
Foo Lin Kong temple 3 - Giant Carp
Daihappydai Says: One expects to see ikan mas - gold fish - in ponds in south-east Asia but the fish I saw in the pond at Foo Lin Kong temple really took me by surprise. I was crossing the bridge spanning the pond when I saw a huge ripple almost a splash, in the water. Wondering what could...
Foo Lin Kong temple 2 - The Great Wall of China
Daihappydai Says: Couldn't resist another series of photos taken at this temple - I've never been to China, but of course I've seen lots of inages of the Great Wall. At Foo Lin Kong temple, they have built their own mini version of the Great Wall curving its way up the hill against which the...
Daihappydai Says: Foo Lin Kong temple is a large Chinese temple just off the main road at Sungai Pinang Besar, about 1.5 km north of Pankor Town. The brightly colored temple is well maintained in a beautiful garden setting. Perched on the roof are animals depicting horoscope signs. There is a...

marionseow Says: If you stay at teluk nipah, morning is nothing can eat, please having your breakfast & take away from Pangkor 's Jati 2 (Port ) (Take the Pink colour Van- Rm5/person), over there is chinese small villange, more original food ,fresh & also can buy your souvenirs(dry seafood)...
iskandarsuhaimi Says: To avoid long queue, buy your ticket at 11 pm and above. You'll avoid long line of tourists and locals eager to get into the island. This also means you'll be able to roam around a half empty ferry on your way there.BTW, tickets to Pangkor are return tickets. On your way...
Daihappydai Says: Return price of the ferry from Pulau Pangkor to Lumut is included in the price to get to the island. There are several morning ferries from Pangkor to Lumut. Once back on the mainland, it is a walk of less than 5 minutes from the fery terminal to the bus terminal. There are...
Daihappydai Says: Transport on Pulau Pangkor involves clambering into a bright pink taxi - minivans with plenty of space for luggage. There is a throng of the taxis parked adjacent to the jetty terminal and large groups at the major beaches. Fares are reasonable 10 - 15RM from Pangkor Town to...
robertgaz Says: Chinese temples always fascinate me with a cast of colourful characters and technicolor treasures.The one near Pinang Kecil about a kilometre north of Pangkor Town is no exception. Just check out the tin man with the top hat in centre picture!
Daihappydai Says: I took a walk along Pasir Bogak one evening as the sun was going down. By the time I had reached the northen end it was quite dark so I decided to return via the footpath. About half way back I noticed an elderly couple who had stopped on the footpath about 50 metres ahead....
Daihappydai Says: It is unlikely that you will be driving your own car on Pulau Pangkor, there are plenty of taxis at a good fare to get you round. But if you are riding a bicycle or motor bike around the island, take extra care on the road cutting across the north of the island. There is...
Be careful about where you are taken snorkelling
Daihappydai Says: We asked at our accommodation and on the beach about arranging a water tour around the island and a chance to go snorkelling. We paid 150 RM for the trip and were told that we would be taken to several sights and bays - which we were - and that we would be able to go...
robertgaz Says: At the northernmost point of Pangkor is a forest reserve where you can sweat your way to the top of Bukit Pangkor Utara. The walk takes you through lush tropical jungle to 178m up from the beach way down below.
robertgaz Says: I have a great respect for gravity so I watched and waited in the wings for a week without worry whilst others went first.As there were no mishaps I figured that the operators had a fair idea what they were doing so I parted with some cash and asked to be taken for a ride...
World Jetski Championship in Pulau Pangkor!
Daihappydai Says: One thing I certainly didn't expect to see on Pulau Pangkor was a round of the World Jetski Championships. Over the weekend we stayed on Pulau Pangkor, Pasir Bogak was a hive of activity as Jetski riders from around the world descended on the tiny beach. The locals were...
Daihappydai Says: One of the things I love most about south-east Asia is the color of the flora. The flowers on Pulau Pangkor didn't disappoint. I went for a walk along some of the back streets and was impressed with the care taken by the locals in their front gardens. At the temples,...

The island of Pangkor is a short ferry ride from Lumut on the mainland. It's a fairly laid back place which is blessed with some pretty decent beaches.
At the end of a very hectic five week world tour, we took a few days to relax at this beautiful spa resort. I had often looked at this hotel in the brochures and wanted to stay here, despite the...
Pangkor Laut - A bit of paradise
Pangkor Laut is truly a bit of paradise. Though it's not easy to get to, after you get there you won't regret it. It is located on the west coast of Malaysia, a 3 hour drive from Kuala Lumpur and a...
Pulau Pangkor or Pangkor Island is situated off the coast of Lumut, Perak. The name Pangkor may have originated from the Thai word Pang Ko meaning 'beautiful island' or may have been memorial to Pang...
One word to describe Pulau Pangkor: warm. Pangkor looked best in orange when the island was basked in golden sunset. When the warm setting sun sat at the horizon between the unclouded sky and the...
